Requiring Third-Party (Azure AD/SAML) Sign-in for Control

Requiring Third-Party (Azure AD/SAML) Sign-in for Control Last updated on March 22, 2023 by Robert Plamondon The use of Azure AD or SAML sign-in for Control users can be made mandatory. By default, it is optional.This is a selective option that is not available by default.

This account is the Designated Administrator and is used in case of problems with the third-party configuration.Note: This feature does not apply to the Control API, just the Control UI.To use this feature:Configure and thoroughly test third-party authentication in its optional form before making it mandatory. On the “Setup > Configuration” page, go to the “Access > Control Access” section and select an account to use as the Designated Administrator

Multiple Azure resource groups

Are resources always deployed to the resource group of the region’s virtual network? Is there a way to split resources across multiple resource groups?For example, a gateway cluster in resource group A, an desktop pool in resource group B, etc.
